Pretty much. It's a shame because they'd had some flashes of original content that had been good. (For anyone glancing at this post that has seen the show, I'm talking about the Arya and Tywin scenes).
Fuck me. Nail. Head.
There were always excuses and delusion. GoT has been crumbling under it's own weight for years but people were too blind to see it.
The original author can't be matched in that regard, yes.
Decisions taken in the heat of the momen often end up being reassessed later. For example, how many games have been raved about on release, to only to be reassessed later as perhaps not being that good? And vice versa, how many great games were not really appreciated in their time? The same applies to music, films, TV. All I am arguing is that we might need to do the same here with GOT. At the moment there is a bandwagon of people slagging everything about it off, and this is now the prism through which everyone is viewing it.
I was, yeah, it's all just mad. Honestly don't even know what they were thinking.
Because I clearly don't understand what 90% of vocal GoT fans are talking about.
So... Which D are you then?
Yeah, I definitely disagree with this sentiment. Sorry guys. I hope you can enjoy the finale!
Weelllllll... since you're here. What would you consider a bad season of television to be? Why was it bad?
I don't think that people who have different taste in TV shows than me are idiots, and I don't think that entering a discussion about the merit of the episode like that makes sense.
To be perfectly honest, I tend to extrapolate the positives from most things I watch. My escapism is valuable, so I'm sure immerse myseld as much as possible, and tend to enjoy things more as a result. I'm a big defender of the Lost finale, for example.
Haha. Absolutely fair enough. That's a lovely turn of phrase. I was kinda fishing for defenders of the episode to raise their heads. Or the sort people who throw around the term "lazy writing" and think that's enough. I've never witnessed such a backlash towards something in my life, expect perhaps that Walking Dead episode, and finding optimistic fans to talk to on the Internet about it is comically hard. And I do genuinely feel awful for those who feel as though they can't enjoy the finale now.
Mine too, that's why I'm pissed haha.
Of course not.
no. like, imagine you met someone who introduces themselves as:
To add to what others have said, the original writer was unique in that he never really created a plot outline, instead the books were driven by the actions of what he felt each character would do. This is why so many people love the books and the early seasons since all the characters would always act true to who they were. Another great benefit of his writing style was that the actions his characters made would have natural consequences in the plot since he was writing forward in time. This is what allowed many of the beloved shocking moments in the show to not feel cheap, but earned.
No, you just enjoy something that many others may not necessarily enjoy.
No there was a huge difference in quality.
We all agree the production and performances have been on point at least.
Nope that's reading wrong on purpose. People who say this episode was worse than ep4.
because the show was moving like a sloth. shit had to get donem
Starting to think that maybe slower was better. More time to build to where we are now rather than rush it. I'm not necessarily angry with the end result, but the journey to get there has been rough.
You honestly think ep 5 was worse than 4?
Yep. EP 4 needed three.
At this point we're all arguing over who we would prefer to blow between our mom and our dad
Sure. No reasons then? Just riding the mass sheople train then. Have fun finding your integrity.
